my story “Salvage” has found a home

I learned over the weekend that my (mildly) speculative fiction story “Salvage” has been accepted for a new anthology that will appear sometime around the end of the summer.

I had responded to a Facebook call specific to the anthology, and since it’s a new publication, it isn’t listed in any of my usual resources (Duotrope, Poets & Writers), I pretty much submitted blindly. The editor responded a week later, apologizing for having taken so long. He wanted to know if I would be up for some minor edits, and if so, he wanted to include my story in the anthology. And so it will happen. (Haven’t seen the proposed edits yet.)

I don’t think the anthology has a name so far, but it is being published by the House Publishing House. “House” is the surname of the editor/publisher.

“Salvage” is an interesting story, or the story behind the story is. I’ve been slowly reading through my old journals, looking for ancient gems I’d forgotten about. Mostly I haven’t found any, but the basic story for “Salvage” was one that I did find. It was in one of my earliest journals. I’m not sure why I didn’t try writing it then, but I’m glad I rediscovered it.

The anthology will come out sometime around the end of the summer. I’ll make some noise about it then too.
